From the Paper:

"The Unbearable Lightness of Being novel is written by Milan Kundera, and has received great critical and popular attention. It was published in 1984 and left a tremendous impact on the history of contemporary literature. Milan Kundera is one of the Czech Republic's most articulate authors. According to Natasha Twal, "He is a virtuoso whose intelligence is both speculative and playful. His intellectual panache as well as his endless ability to generate original ideas from the most archetypal- almost mudane- humane situations insures that he is never less than stimulating" (The Star 3- 30, 98)."
